Praying for healing for family and friends, lose of a loved one is one of the hardest things we do in our lives. God’s promises to be with us and help us through trying times like these, so for all I pray, please don’t try to carry this burden alone, let God handle it for you.

To the family of Woody, our condolences and prayers. We connected with Woody again at his class of 65 luncheons. We were high school friends. It was so good seeing him again after all these years! One great memory was him riding from Cannon AFB base in New Mexico back to Rocky Mount, NC, in 1966! He rode in a small area in the back seat in our 62 Chevy 2 door crammed in with boxes and suit cases! On occasion holding a spoiled cat! He never complained and appreciated the ride! We miss him, and will always remember the person he is! May God Bless Woody and his family! Donald and Bonnie Skinner, Cary, NC
